The Joint Commission last week recognized four hospitals and health systems as a 2018 Pioneers in Quality Expert Contributor for their efforts to advance the evolution and use of electronic clinical quality measures. The honorees are BJC HealthCare in Saint Louis; MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital in Leonardtown, MD; Texas Health Resources in Arlington, TX; and Vail (CO) Health. The organizations will share their eCQM adoption and practice efforts with other hospitals and health systems during a series of webinars hosted by The Joint Commission.
